Customer Reviews for "The Ultimate Book of Useless Information (Paperback)" by Noel Botham (Author)Most Recent Customer Reviews  An Odd Fact Book... Without Facts!, May 22, 2008
By Avid Reader
I usually love this kind of "odd fact" book, but "The Ultimate Book of Useless
Information" is nothing short of a train wreck. I noticed right away that even
for a book of random facts, the sections are poorly written with almost no
continuity or interesting detail. More importantly, though, it takes only a few
minutes for someone of even average intelligence to spot errors that are so
glaringly obvious, one wonders just what kind of rock this alleged author
crawled out from.
For example, the author states that if the ice caps melted,
the oceans would not rise! Why? According to the author, because water takes up
the same amount of space whether its frozen or not--never mind that the ice caps
are ABOVE the ocean, not inside it!! Apparently, Noel has never put too many ice
cubes into a full glass before! This kind of idiocy is unforgivable--not just
for a professional author, but for an editor and publishing house as well.
